TALK OF FURTHER CONsOLfDATIONs-THE POSTAL
PUTS UP RATES.
The next important step ard complete settlement
OF the telegraph probably second only to the pr
chase OF the Baltimore and Ohio system by the western
Union Company taken yesterday An agreement
was made between Mutual Union. the fighting con-
tngent Of the Western Union Company and the Postal
Telegraph Company, which now represents the ohy
opposition 1t Is probable that this agreement merely
foreshadows perfect coalition, but the principal ocerf
OF both companies insisted that 1t covered only an a
vance In Improbable rates IL was stated WITH much
positiveness that no purchase OF the opposition lines
was even contemplated and at the offices OF tho fosai
Telegraph Company 1t was said that tariff in accord
ance with the agreement had not been made. While the
fixing OF rates was not completed the officers oil tho
company were unwilling to talk the subject
The common opinion in Wall street was that the
acquisition OF the Baltimore and Ohio lines by the
Western Union not announced until terms with the
Mackay companies hal been arranged, and that the
present agreement natural sequence 1t was
anticipated that an advance in cabo rates would he
made Immediately. and that In fact the control OF tho
opposition telegraph and cable lines in the hands OF
the western Union Company. l. ninted that INC
doubt about the departure OF Mr. Gould for Europe
arose chiefly from the fact that the negotiations had not
been completed at earlier tolerably certain
that some sort OF agreement exists between Mr..
Gould and Mr.. Mackay aud the proposed advance In
rates by the Mutual Union and the Postal COMPANIES Is
gcNerally accepted as sufficient proof
Mr.. Gould said In reply to inquiry whether tho
agreement meant the absot r;iOn Mackay land anu
lines:
" 1 guess not. As understand the situation tho
Mutual Union and tic Postal companies have agreed to
advance rates to something tariff They have
been hgntng other. the Western Union IL not
greatly interested have not heard OF any advance in
cable rates
President Chandler of the Postal Company refused to
talk about the agreement and Vice President Rosencr
speaking for his superior officer said that the directors
OF the company would have TO discuss IL further before
any could be made In regard TO the pr-
chase OF the Mackay lines by the Western Union ne said
THAT ia out Of the question. do not think there Is
any Intention OF that kind either side"
General Manager Ward. OF the Commercial Cable Com
pany, said that cable rates had not been changed Ho
admitted that the agreement between the ltnd lines
would be taken Indication Of advance In cable
rates hut he added the effects OF the cement had
not yet reached the cable office.
Understood that tho advance in land rates on the
Postal lines will carry with II the abolition OF rebates.
and that all the competitive an fifteen rates will he

REPUBLICANS, REGISTER TO-DAY
LAST CHANCES TO GET ON THE LISTS.

THE "BOODLER" DISTRICTS SHOW UP WELL; LET
THE UPTOWN ONES DO AS WELL.
Between the hours Of g. IN. and p. m to-day
and to morrow voters will have their last oppOrtu-
nifty to register this year. The places Of registration
and the boundaries Of the election districts will be
found in the advertising columns OF to-day's
There have 50 far been days Of registration and
considerably less than onchaf the voters have reg
stered The registration Of the first two days always
largely exceeds thai of the last two Unless there is
change this year. there will be $4,000 voters disran-
chised by their own neglect
The voters who do not register with few exceptions
are business and professional the classes which
should be most concerned for good government Many
of them live In brownstone houses. Unless they come
ou and register to-day and tomorrow tho bosses and
boodlers' ticket will be elected the prosecution Of
criminals will be In the hands Of under obhga-
tons to tem and the fountains of justice Will be pol
luted.
Are the intelligent OF New York ready to invite
such calaml by neglccting to register!
In tho XXIst Assembly District there are over 1900
voters Only 3067 have yet registered. This Is
the "browns one district, aud gives large Rcpub-
ncan majority. The other Republican districts-the
VIIth With, Xith and XIIIth-show similar falling
of.
But In the Ivth District where "boodle" Alderman
Shells lives, nearly 60 per cent of the voters have
already registered Doodle Alderman Cl arys dis
trict makes light showing Unless the decent citi-
rcns come out and register. the "bosses' and
boodlers combine will be I'm fair way TO capture
the city. 1t IL the duty Of every Republican who
cares for his party and for good government to rcSser
between a. and p. M. to-day.
